It was in the perfect location in Gengenbach! Right on the cutest street in the whole town. Walk to everything and 5 minutes to the train! Doesn’t get much better than that!

Clean, good space and well equipped. Great base if you would like to hike and visit the towns around that region of the black forest. Host was extremely kind and replies fast to any questions. Owns a beautiful cat which was a plus point! Would return if an opportunity arises.

Gengenbach itself is a very small little town but quite cute. The food is predominantly Italian - still don't know why. In town itself I don't think you need more than a day, but you are close to Strassburg and several other small towns, hikes and wineries nearby.

We chose Gengenbach as a base as it was easy to get train to other places and go for local walks. It is a pleasant village which is quite picturesque. It is not touristy. There are quite a few restaurants. Menus only in German so make sure you have a phrase book!

This is a small friendly town with lots of dining options, a museum, a night-time tour of the town with a historical talk by the Nachtwaechter, beautiful church. In December the Rathaus is turned into the "world's largest Advent calendar."

A real Schwarzwald Town with all the 'old' buildings.
A real Schwarzwald Town with all the 'old' buildings. Loved it.
Restaurants open at 6pm for evening meal.
Traditional German food, but also Italian. Not sure about other food types. Backery and Ice Cream open all day.
Relaxed feeling while being there.

1) Gengenbach is a picturesque and quaint town in the Black Forest region. It has good transport connections to other towns in Black Forest and makes a good base for visiting Black Forest.
2) Unfortunately when we were there in end-Sep 2022, there were numerous train delays between Gengenbach and Munich and on many routes throughout Germany. On our 2nd day there, a strike in France went on for 36 hours and caused reduced train service and worse train delays. Train schedules were so fluid that they changed from as frequently as every 30 mins. All this added an additional 5 hours to our total travelling time between towns in Black Forest, which originally would have taken only about 2 hours both ways. It was very trying and almost ruined our experience in Black Forest.
3) Gengenbach is mostly German-speaking and the shops, restaurants and hotels had few English-speaking staff. We were the few Asian people there and at most of these places, we received many long stares and people were always very surprised to hear us speak fluent English.
4) At Frei (Steinkellerhaus) restaurant, we walked in to ask for a table for 4. The restaurant was only half empty. A male waiter rudely told us that he had a table but their menus were only in German and they had no English menu. When we politely asked it if it was possible for him to let us know the menu items in English, he became even more rude and angrily told us that we had to translate the menu into English ourselves using the Internet and looked ready to kick us out of the restaurant. We found this terribly offensive and left immediately.
5) It is truly unfortunate that such a picturesque area which has inspired world famous fairytales, is the home of Black Forest cake and ham and whose main industry is tourism, has limited itself by language. If only it catered better to English-speaking tourists …
We love this hotel and have stayed here a half dozen times, every time we visit the Black Forest. It’s in a lovely spot—in the countryside but only a 15 walk to Gengenbach. Ample parking. Amazing breakfast. Friendly staff. Huge rooms with a full suite and balcony. When we stayed over Christmas we got a little Christmas bag of goodies from the staff. It’s just a wonderful place to stay at any time of year.
The location could not be any better - just steps from the quaint and charming center of Gengenbach. The apartment is very spacious, exceptionally clean with everything that you will need. When I had a problem starting the washing machine, the owner was over in minutes to show me what to do. Such a comfortable place to come home to after long days of exploring.
Spacious basement apartment, large living room, bathroom and bedrooms with plenty of storage space. Well equipped kitchen. Brighter than expected from photos. Use of washing machine/tumble dryer in shared utility room. Less than 15 minute walk from train station, and 5 min to town centre. Good base for visiting the Schwarzwald. Good communication from host.
The hotel is a very good structure located at 10 minutes by walk from the town, large room, well dotation, supplied with kettle, coffee and tea, towels, and with a balcony. Easy parking and a rich breakfast. Very good value for money.
Very friendly welcoming and helpful staff, cosy family atmosphere, excellent dinner in the Hotel’s Restaurant. Great location for visitors - very convenient.
We booked a car park space when reserving - everything went very well!
The Location was awesome! It is as close to downtown Gengenbach as you can possibly get. This makes walks in the city a breeze, especially in the early morning. The apartment was very clean and had nearly everything you'd need.
Great apartment 5 minute walk from Gengenbach old town. Daniela the host was great and the apartment was perfect. Warm and comfortable. Awesome shower, great bedroom, nice kitchen and living area. Excellent value.
The restaurant downstairs was phenomenal and served one of the best meals of my trip, breakfast was also impressive. Staff were lovely and helpful. I’d certainly make it a stop on my next trip back to Germany!
It was literally in the centre of the amazing gingerbread town of Gengenbach. It had all the facilities required to make it a home, so you can eat in or dine out.
It was the cleanest hotel ever! Great location, beautiful gardens, elegant, cozy, most comfortable beds, delicious breakfast, friendly and helpful staff!
